NEED SUPPLIED.
In all Florida there Is no more health
full site than that occupied by Welaka.
1t is on the st. Johns. about twenty five
miles south of Palatka, and FROM an oak
crowned bluff looks out over the river
and back over hundreds of acres in
grove and garden. The town and the
neighborhoOd have been settled by con
sentative citizens, and there has been
heretofore no sustained effort to invite a
lively competition in lands, or a large
increase in population. Therefore land
is still cheap and within easy reach of
river and railroad, and primeval forests
stills hade soils which would produce the
finest fruits or vegetables.
A change will now come over the
dreamy spirit of this section. When
Gen. Stewart, on the march to Khar-
toum, formed his squares to resist the
furious attacks of the Mahdi's Arabs, j.
X. Kennedy was one of the Englishmen
whose courage faced the storm. From
the Nile to the st. Johns is long step,
but Mr.. Kennedy has made it, and he is
now devOting his untiring energy to the
development of Putnam county. He has
already become identified with us, and,
with such sterling citizens as G.. F. Wal
dron, j. DallOw and q. c. Butler he has
organized the Welaka Land Company.
Already the enterprise Is bearing vaIu-
able fruit. Several English families have
settled around Welaka, and the efforts
of the company will do for the Fruitland
Peninsula what similar efforts, equally
well directed, have done for the sections
around Interlachen and Keuka. There
is already an increased activity wherever
these gentlemen have been at wOrk-at
tention will he drawn to the advantages
of a country hitherto neglected. and We
laka will take the place for which nature
intended her. We anticipate much solid
good to our county from the acquisition
of such gentlemen as Mr.. Kennedy, and
from the efforts of the company he has
formed.

MISUNDERSTANDING.

Miss Annie Randall, daughter of Ex-
Sp. aker Samuel j. Randall, was married
on the Sth inst. to Charles Calvert Ian
caster, of Washington. The groom is a
young lawyer in active practice, whose
father was at one time a commanding
figure in our State politics. Says the
Times:
The Lancasters are an ancient Cath
Ollie family of Lower Mary land. The
first of the parentage of the American
branch we're friends and companions of
the noble Lords Baltimore. A portion of
the family subsequently settled in Ken
lucky. Judge Joseph Lancaster. of that
branch, a man of unmistakable ability,
removing to Florida, ran for the United
States Senate in 1851 against 5. X. NAL
lory, who was elected and served down
to the time of the rebellion. Richard
Spaulding, brother Of the Right rtever-
end John Spaulding, Archbishop Of the
ancient Roman Catholic See Of BaltI-
more, married Mary Jane Lancaster, a
cousin of Charles q. Lancaster, who will
become the husband Of Miss Annie Ran
hall. Richard Spaulding was q banker
in Kentucky and Mrs. Spaulding. Miss
Lancaster, was celebrated among her
friends as lady of great cCmeliness Of
face and figure. and many wOmanly vir-
tues. Her son, entering the priesthood,
rose to khe high office of Bishop of PeO-
ria, and will unite in the holy bonds of
matrimony his nephew, and the daugh-
ter of PennsylvanIa's distinguished Rep
resentatIve.
